Listen, McLean, he did not have this money, that same Pakeha. The boat returned to Te Taipea[?], the lime was loaded, and it went to Taranaki. He did not know the prices. It's up to you about that Pakeha who had the lime; you should question a Pakeha at Huatoki about it. Young man, McLean, I am upset about the Pakeha who loaded his goods on board.

Kia rongo mai koe, e Te Makarini, kahore i a ia enei moni, i taua Pakeha ano. Ka hoki mai te kaipu[ke] ki Te Taipea[?], ka utaina ki te raima, ka tae atu ki Taranaki. Kahore ia i mohio ki nga utu.

Kua rongo au ki te Maori e toru nga hokinga ki Kawhia, no te tuawha o nga hokinga mai, ka pakaru. Kei te pouri au ki taua Pakeha, e mea ana au kia whakawakia taua Pakeha
